Now is the time.
Aspersions.
Give and take, I hear people say today.
Some give far less and take more away.
Some take far less and give a lot more.
Which is best I can never really be sure.
If i took out far more and gave back less.
Should that make me a different person.
Would your instinct be I am just selfish.
Which could be another false assertion.
If I gave away more and took a little less.
Will that make me a much better person.
Would you just think I’m kindly generous.
This could also be an incorrect assertion.
What about if I only took what I needed.
Then gave away only what I could afford.
Will that not make me an authentic person.
That could also be an incorrect assertion.
You should not expect me to be anything.
Leaving me to be a natural human being.
This would make me just a normal person.
Then that would be the correct assertion.

A Marxist idea that didn't quite work due to man's nature toward corruption and greed but a most interesting idea none the less. Too bad that most men's nature is not a giving one. A fun read my friend
